Quick Help for Rep++

Alright, heres the question.

I have a script that runs off of the index.php.. It is my template.

I want to have a intro paragraph that I ONLY want to show up when the user is at the main page.

I have tried using these php codes to make it only show on the main page, but it continues to show up on all of the pages.

<? $url=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
 
 $url=explode(".com",$url);
 
 $check=$url[1];
 
 if($check=="/")
 {
 echo "paragraph blah blah blah blah";
 }

?>

PHP:

and then,

<? if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']== "http://www.url.com");

{ 
                 echo "paragraph blah blah blah blah";
				 
				 } ?>

PHP:

Both of these didn't work, any ideas of why or what I can change to make them work.. or if I need to use something completely different.

Anyone that can help will get a big thanks and a hug?.

Thanks

Find out your SCRIPT_FILENAME variable, paste this into a file (which you can delete when you're done)

<?php echo phpinifo(); ?>

Find _SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"], near the bottom. Copy the value of that.. e.g. /var/www/domain.com/index.php and paste it into $filename below

Then

<?php
$filename = "/var/www/domain.com/index.php";
if($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"] = $filename && (count($_SERVER["argv"]) == 0)) {
echo "paragraph";
}
?>

PHP:

That should work.. it will only show if the query string is empty (i.e. index.php and not index.php?page=info)

I thought this would work.. but it sadly didn't... :-(

Do you have any other ideas? Anyone else see why this wouldn't work?

Any helps would be quite helpful!

The operator is wrong, it should be '==' instead of '=' and i would include some additional brackets, ie:

if(($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"] == $filename) && (count($_SERVER["argv"]) == 0)) {

Code (markup):

If you only have 1 index.php, you could simplify the whole thing and use this:

if (basename($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]) == "index.php")
{
	//your code
}

Code (markup):

 

Try this

<?php
$file_path = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], $ini_substr, strlen($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']));
$uri = explode('?', $file_path);
if ($uri[0] == "/" OR $uri[0]== "index.php")
{
	echo "your paragraph";
}
?>

Code (markup):

 

This one worked like a charm... THANKS A LOT!

You get a "hug"... and so does everyone else.. Thanks guys.

This is why I love this forum.. resources at your finger tips!
